Stewart Coasts to Victory in Kansas Tony Stewart coasted to victory Sunday, literally.

The gamble paid off for Stewart as he wins his third race of the season. Stewart had a 17 second lead over second place Casey Mears when he ran out of fuel. Mears looked poised to potentially win his first Nextel Cup Series race when he began to run out of fuel as well when he took…
BURTON WINS AT DOVER For the first time in 175 races Jeff Burton was able to pull his car into Victory Lane after a Nextel Cup Race. For you math wizards out there that is almost 5 years since Burtons last Cup Series victory. Making the win even sweeter is the fact that now Burton also finds himself atop the Nextel Cup points standings by 6 points over second place Jeff Gordon. Burton didn’t lead a lap all day until 6 laps from the finish when he was able to squeeze by Matt Kenseth after a fierce battle for several…

Harvick Sweeps Richmond, Chase For The Nextel Cup is Set Kevin Harvick passed Kyle Busch on second to last lap to win his second race in as many days. Friday night Harvick dominated the Busch Series race at Richmond, much like he has the whole season. The surprise of the night though might be Tony Stewart.

NFL Preview: NFC East DALLAS COWBOYS The Cowboys were one playmaker away from making the playoffs last season and they added one of best, at least on the field, by signing Terrell Owens. Now it is obvious that Owens is not the best of citizens off the field, but Bill Parcells may be the perfect coach to keep him relatively in check. When he has his head on straight, Owens is the best receiver in the game, and he answered questions about his fortitude by having over 100 yards receiving in the Super Bowl on one leg two years ago.…
NFL Preview: NFC West ST. LOUIS RAMS This year’s Rams team is expected to be no different from any other Rams Teams of the past, scoring lots of points and giving up just as many. The big difference this year is the Rams new head coach, Scott Linehan, who has no NFL coaching experience, and rookie head coaches usually don’t succeed in their first season. Nonetheless the St. Louis Rams did not lose any key offensive players this year, and running back Steven Jackson is expected to have a huge season this year. Marc Bulger can deliver some of the…
Kahne Sweeps California The competition knew that Kasey Kahne would be tough to beat going into California. He had always run well there and he needed a good finish for his team to have a chance to make the Chase for the Nextel Cup. They probably didn’t expect him to sweep the weekend though. Maybe the only thing more spectacular then Kahne sweeping the weekend is how he did it. Both wins came in the final laps of the race as he watched his competition run out of fuel. Kahne won the Busch race Saturday night after a fierce final…
